Last night, fans were on baby watch as Snooki’s rep confirmed that she had gone into labor, and this morning MTV reported the news: “The world just got another Guido!!! Lorenzo Dominic LaValle has entered the world weighing 6 lbs, 5 oz. Nicole, Jionni & Enzo are doing great!”

Back in April, Snooki told the media that being pregnant made her “grow up,” adding: “It’s different because now I’m not drinking. I’m usually partying and going to clubs, but pregnancy made me grow up a lot.” Let’s just hope she continues in that direction.

Congratulations to Snooki and Jionni on the birth of their healthy baby boy! What do you think of the name the couple chose for their son? Sound off with your thoughts below!
